Im not sure what you mean by hard drive recovery, but if you mean all your recovery files are on a second partition, then you could clone the entire HD to a new HD then use the recovery tools to restore that CD.
If you do a recovery I would not expect to save my data as they often format the HD. You can though back up all your data files to something. An DVD or thumb drive just in case

Oh good grief. Another Mac fanboy. I've been using both for 20 years. They both have hard drives that die - trust me.

Re: Anyone Ever Replace A Hard Drive?
My son just replaced mine - - I got the "blue screen" a couple weeks ago!
I've been on my iPhone and laptop until five minutes ago. I got it all hooked up and FINALLY using a larger screen again!

So, I would have to reinstall every piece of software from scratch?

If simply backing up, back up ONLY the actual data. Reinstall the software from their original CD/DVD's.

I use Mac's and PC's every day at work. I am VERY aware of both of their strengths and weaknesses, and I am proud to say that "I am a PC and Windows 7 was MY idea!".
I also refuse to use a computer the way Steve Jobs says I should, not to mention I refuse to support Al Gore who sits on the Apple board.

If you don't clone the original HD, yes. If you do not have the original software that came with the PC, including the OS, you can get it from the company.
BTW what makes you think it's the HD?

Amen! to all of the above.
Macs are great for somethings, but I never converted because I didn't want to have to get a funny hair cut and untuck my shirt.

Check to make sure it's not a fan that is making that noise
Do you run updated anti-virus/anti spyware?
Also a background running program like a virus scanner will make the HD run and if it's a bloatware program like Norton it may use a lot of system resources.
You should be able to go into taskmanager and processes and see what is hogging CPU
